War CORRESPONDENTS,

"The peaceful citizen who reads in
his morning paper the full details Of
battle that was perhaps fought the
previous day." said Archibald Forbes
to New York Mail writer, ''little
thinks OF the periIs and dangers the
correspondent on the field of battle
has to 20 through to send the infOr.
nation home. Previous to 1870 the
duty of the gatherer Of war news was
easy compared to what it is at pre-
sent. Then one could stand on some
hill, watch the battle, decide how II
had gone and post off his letters. II
1870 a reform came over this method
of doing the work. The system Q.
sending by telegraph the full particu
lars of the fight came into use. The
dangers increased. With the use Of
siege guns that fire shot 10 miles.
and rifles that kill at two miles, it Is
impossible for the war correspondent
to stand out Of danger and see how
the battle is doing. He must be in
the thick of the fight, and statistics
show that the percentage OF CORES.
pondents killed IS greater than the
percentage OF soldiers killed. In the
recent terrible fighting in the SOudau,
out of 20 representatives OF the press
who went with the forces, six lie buried
in shallow graves in those burning
deserts. The ideal war correspondent
must be a man who has, among Other
things, the gift of tongues. He must
speak, in addition to the ordinary
European languages, some OF the
Asiatic, including Afghanistan, and
some African, including Soudanese
Ashantee, Abyssinian and Zulu. He
must have a lovely temper, amiablt
as woman, and as atfable as can
didate who is canvassing for yoW
vote, and at the same time he must
be big and ugly enough to scare
off whole armies. He must be able
to ride anything, from a giraffe to 8
rat. and be able to sit in the saddle
for 100 miles at a stretch, to go with
out eating for a week, to write a good
legible round hand, so the clerk at the
telegraph station can read 1t. Tie
must write at the rate OF a column ar
hour, and often write eight columns
and then gallop back to the scene o.
action. He must be able to tell every
move that is going to be made, anC
scent a battle long before it takes
place, and then, while it is raging, he
must tell how it is going. and what
will be the result, long before 1t ter
inmates. All these accomplishments
would make a man an ideal CORES
rondent, but there never was such a
man. Julius Caesar would have made
good one if there had been such men
in those days, and Napoleon |, would
have eclipsed julius Caesar if he could
have learned to be truthful"

A Common Sense Programme.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Eshelman, a resident Of
northwestern Kansas, is a gentleman
who appears to have some practical
ideas on how swine should be managed
for health and profit, and he expresses
them in the American Agriculturist in
this wise:
"There is probably no better pas
turage for swine than a clover
field. When such an one is not
available, oats and rye may
be made to serve as an excellent
substitute. | have six acres fenced
with lumber and wire; three Of these
are sown to rye in the fall, and the
other half to oats in the spring. AS
soon as the oats are about six inches
high, turn in the hogs. The rye by
that time is beyond their desires, and
comes to maturity about the time the
oats are gone, when it again engages
their attention. The oat ground may
now be plowed and sown to rye for
fall pasturage. OF course some of the
oats will come to maturity. This
also seeds the ground, and l have
not only rye, but fine mixture ofvol-
unteer oats for my hogs in the fall.
By this means l have raised 100 hogs
without large amount of corn, and l
have never had any disease amongmy
swine In the spring SOW to oats the
three acres that were in rye last year.
By dividing the field with fence, per-
haps it could be managed still better,
but in a country where fencing materi-
al is high farmers must adopt meth
DDS within their reach. By
means of this pasturage, the sudden
transition from dry food to green is
avoided. From rye and green oats
the hogs pass to green corn, and as
the corn ripens their systems gradual
~ adapt themselves to the change for
the winter, when much of the feed is
dry. A weekly allowance OF oats
during winter will be welcomed by the
swine herd, and if the water given
them be fresh and pure thrift and
profit must be his who thus cares for
his animals. Sour bran. ashes, lime,
salt and charcoal should be kept
where the hogs can get at them at
will. Care for your hogs and they will
take care of your purse.

DIR, Holmes Sees the Prince,

When Oliver Wendell Holmes was in
England he went to the Derby on the
special train with the Prince of Wales
and this is what he S avs in the March
Atlantic of the heir to the English
throne:
The prince is OF lively tempera,
ment and a very cheerful aspect-a
young girl would call him "jolly" as
we'll as "nice" | could not help
thinking of the story of "Mr. Pope
and his Prince of Wales, as told by
Horace Walpole: "Mr. Pope, you
don't love princes" "Sir, l beg your
pardon" "Well, you don't love
kings, then" Sir, l own / love the
lion best before his claws are
grown" Certainly, nothing in Prince
Albert Edward suggests any aggressive
weapons or tendencies. The lovely,
youthful-looking gracious Alexandra,
the always affable and amiable Prln-
cess Louise, the tall youth who sees
the crown and sceptre affair off in his
dreams, the slips of girls so like many
school misses we left behind us-all
these grand personages not being on
exhibition, but off enjoying them
selves, just as was and as other peo-
pie were, seemed very much like their
fellow mortals. 1t is really easier to
feel at home with the highest people
in the land than with the awkward
commoner who was knighted yester-
day. When ''My Lord and Sir Paul.
came into the club which Goldsmith
tells of, the hilarity of the evening was
instantly checked. The entrance of a
dignitary like the present Prince OF
Wales would not have spoiled the
fun of the evening. If there is any one
accomplishment specially belonging to
princes, it is that of making the per-
sons they meet feel at ease.

More or less reliable estimates put
Henry Ward Beecher' fortune at from
100000 to S15O,OOO, besides $780,
900 or 100000 of life insurance. The
earnings OF his life are figured up at
81 100000 by the same authorities.
The difference between what the great
preacher received for his labors and
what he possessed when he died is
nearly $4,000 a year for every year
since hewas ten years old and about
$4,000 annually after he reached the
age Of thirty. This shows what vast
sums were given away, lost through
poor judgment and carelessness in
business matters, and spent in some
singular forms of extravaganza.

Cor. Washington Star.
Some weeks ago d young woman
named scott, who was soon to be-

Mercer County (Pa.) Justice OF the
Peace and swore out q warrant for
the arrest OF q young man named WI.
IN Bloodgood on charge OF assault

hearing that a few weeks previous
Bloodgood had come to her house,
and, as she objected to his remaining,
he had choked her nearly to insensI'

most dislocating it. She said the
marks of his fingers and thumb were
visible on her throat for several days,
and her wrist remained crooked for
some time. She had no witnesses to
substantiate her statements or prove
the assault. Bloodgood admitted
having been present at the girls house
at the time of the alleged assault, but
denied that any had been made. He

To RenOvate Feather Beds.

Fill twenty or thirty-gallon cask
with warm water. Put in pound OF
baking soda. Do not use any soap,
as it makes the feathers stick togeth-
er. Rip open one end of the tick and
sink the whole, feathers and tick, in
the water till both are thoroughly wet
Then shake the feathers out OF the
tick into the water. When clear run
them through a wringer. Sew up
three or four sheets, put in theteathers
and dry in the sun. If your bedtick
is very thick and your feathers can
not "breathe," punch holes in every
corner, cut off a goose quill at each
end, put one in each hole and sew it
fast to keep the feathers from COM
ing out, and your bed will be light
and fluffy as new.

Prairie Tree Planting.

Mr.. David w. Judd, touring in the
West, sends to the American Agricul,
turist this idea ofprairie tree planting:
Fifteen years ago. said John stibal

OF soft maple, box elder, cottonwood
and honey locust. Now look at them

wood are dead and dying, destroyed
by the borers, who are persistent and
destructive in their attacks. The
box elders have likewise suffered from
some cause. The honey locusts are

Farm Notes.

Flavor in grass, as in fruit, is the
combined product of sunshine and
warm weather. Other circumstances
may modify the flavor of grass, but
where all other conditions are equal,
the lower the temperature at which it
grows the less flavor will develop IN it,.
That growing grass is sweetened and
improved for milk, butter, and cheese,
is fact we'll known to observing dali
ry-men.
Knowing that the milk is produced
from the food, says the Western Ru-
raj, we must know that the more the
animal digests, the more milk she will
make To feed the COW upon indiges-
tible food, would be equivalent to
nothing; and to feed her that which
will require very long time for her
digestive apparatus to convert into
availability is equivalent to feeding
her insufficient food.
An excellent food for pigs during the
Winter is potatoes and corn ears
boiled together until the potatoes are
quite soft, and the food is given when
nearly cold. Small potatoes are as
good as any for this purpose. The
corn and the cob are both much SOFT
ened in the cooking and are eaten
without waste.
A cow should be dried off two months
before she comes in. During this time
the feed should be dry hay, and no
grain food of any kind should be Civ
en-. If she has been kept in good con-
dition up to this time she will not
need grain feed. If the milk does not
stop, the COW should be .only half
MIXED and but once day.
1t is a good plan to wash horses
necks and shoulders with cold water
after the days work in spring and
summer. 1t will strengthen them
and prevent lameness and CALLING.
This is especially necessary if the horses
have done much work in winter and
are then set to work suddenly in
spring If a horse be sick or lame or
sweled, bathing will often improve
it. If the parts affected be cold, then
let the water be a little warm;
but if the parts be warm, let the wa
ter be cold. Some salt dissolved in the
water will add to its efficiency.

Sir Redvers Buffers testimony
strongly supports all that is said by
the Irish leaders of the condition of
the country-and that shows condi-
ton OF things that would justify in
surrection. He says that "what law
there is in counties Kerry, Clare and
Cork was on the side of the rich," and
he expressed the opinion that sit
would be serious matter, with their
grievances unredressed, to attempt
to repress by force the tenants right
openly to associate for the protection
of their interests. A majority OF the
tenants" he said, struggled to pay
their rents, and, where they could, did
pay; but in great many cases the
rents were too high and such as the
tenants could not pay" He said
"there would never be peace in Ireland
until there had been established g.
court having strong coercive powers
over bad landlords and protective
powers over poor tenants" This is
the condition of things as 1t appears
to British officer Gent to Ireland as
a commander of troops at time
when it was expected that an extend
ed application of the method of evic-
ton would so exasperate the whole
population as to endanger peace,
